A Year With A Miracle

Happy First Birthday to our precious little boy!

After seven long years of heartache, and seven little angels who went to heaven before we met them, this beautiful little man came into our lives on a sunny Spring Sunday afternoon. We are so blessed. Thank you Sts. Catherine of Sweden, Gerard, Gianna, Jude, our Blessed Mother, and our Guardian Angels for so many prayers answered.

Little boys break my heart, especially when they get past the toddler stage and become pure boy - that feral smell, the constant kinetic experiencing life, the sweetness when the bravado drops and they need a hug.

Happy Birthday!My little 'gift' from SS Catherine and Gerard turned 1 on the 13th! We named her guardian angel Gerard. Hehehe.I'm still praying for you Kit. May you be granted another sticky Twinkle from His eye.God bless

Thanks all...I have to teach tonight, but I will post more pics of the big day - being my child, he managed to stick not just his paws, but his TOES in his cake...and lick them off. He did not make nearly the mess we thought he would, just enough to get all vital parts and clothes sticky. So it was bath time, and of course he had to have birthday suit pictures which are also suitably adorable, but will not be posted lest someone calls DSS on me. (LOL!)

AA - Oh yeah...he's got the flirty "chicks dig me" thing going on. When he's getting into mischief and the girls or I tell him no, he just turns and grins a crooked little movie star grin at us...and goes right back to whatever he's not supposed to be doing. Lather, rinse, repeat. When Daddy says no, he looks at the floor, hurt and pensive. When he gets the second "no," the horrible weeping starts. He knows the lay of the land.

Eternal Father, grant, we pray, to all Marines both night and day, The courage, honor, strength, and skill, Their land to serve, thy law fulfill; Be thou the shield forevermore, From every peril to the Corps

SHOCKER!

Social conservatives share a belief in traditional morality and social mores and the desire to preserve these in present day society, often through civil law or regulation. The government should use its influence in the public square to support traditional family values.
